Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Audubon: Die Vögel Amerikas I, 1827

Two birds are depicted amongst green leaves, with one bird holding a large butterfly in its beak, and another bird perched on a branch below. The color palette includes primarily green, brown, black, and white, with a touch of yellow on the butterfly. The leaves cover most of the upper portion of the image, while the birds occupy the central area with their wings spread. A cluster of reddish-brown fruits hangs below the birds in the lower left corner.
